revive this plan.

this is tonight at the good shepherd center:

Through a handful of media, Jim Haynes defines his work with the simple phrase “I rust things.” Specifically, he has focused on how decay parallels and relates to the perception of time when cycles of activity dwindle toward stasis. Through this research, sound has emerged as a central medium for his current installations and performances. Drawing from shortwave radio static, electric field disturbances, controlled feedback manipulation, and numerous textural scrapings, he aims towards a broken minimalism whose magnetic drones lend the impression of timelessness, when in fact the environment is quite active. This engineering of disparate materials and media seeks to evince the unpredictability of decay, to manifest its potential for a rough-hewn beauty, and to bear witness to its inevitability.

Eric Lanzillotta has been involved in sound in various aspects over the last two decades. In this time, a few fragments have been released for public consumptions on labels such as Anomalous Records, Selektion, Alluvial Recordings, Beta-Lactam Ring Records, RRRecords, EE Tapes and Jnana Records. Some of these recordings have involved collaborations with Ralf Wehowsky, Andrew Chalk, and John Hudak. He has also contributed to recordings by Hands To, AMK, Ultra, Edward Ka-Spel, irr.app.(ext.), and Dropp Ensemble. As a live performer, he has appeared in United States, Canada and Japan, both solo and in duets with Bernhard Günter, Aube, and Withdrawal Method. In recent years, he has focused on live analog electronics. Each performance is improvised with a focus on creating long form works which follow the path of the electronics’ subtle changes, a music of timbres and textures rather than notes and melodies where the main activity of the music is in the details.

and on the 18th:

NO WEST is a music festival dedicated to developing the fast-growing community of Northwest improvisers. This year 36 improvisers from Vancouver B.C., Portland, Bellingham, Olympia, Seattle, NYC, California, & Tokyo will perform in Seattle & Portland. This year the festival will also be opening its doors to improvisers working in the fields of dance and poetry. The festival is designed to present improvised music in both informal and formal settings. Each city will host a semi-private daytime show at a player’s home, followed by an evening performance at a public venue. This provides an enriching opportunity for both improvisers and the community.

This year’s performers include: Jen Baker, Liz Allbee, Shane Ronet, Bob Jones, Eric Ostrowski, David Able, Kelvin Pittman, Wil Shook, Simon Henneman, Robert Pedersen, David Grove, Bob Gallup, Seth Nehil, Mark Kaylor, Cristin Miller, Gregory Reynolds, Melanie Noel, Yuki Enomoto, Corey Fuller, Tyler Wilcox, Ezra Dickenson, Heather Vergotis, Ben Kates, Rob Baxter, JP Jenkins, Robert j Kirkpatrick, Matt Carlson, Amelia Reeber, Gust Burns, Jason E Anderson, Jonathan Sielaff, Jeff Huston, Scott Goodwin, Arrington De Dionysio, Jamie Potter, Cam Stevens.

jergins gets credit for this grand plan:

rainy day cheese fund

one idea i had at the time but didn’t mention because it could get weird would be to go into each others wallets like once every couple days and take a dollar—who’d notice, right—and then squirrel it away somewhere and then buy expensive cheese.

that’s an funny funny plan.

tonight drunk L O S T 3 minute ‘webisode’ named THE WATCH

it was a good plan too bad it was a dumb ‘webisode’

god that’s an annoying word. i can’t decide if it’s more or less annoying than ‘webinar’

‘Future So Bright’

(Art)

Best known for his experimental films, including The Subconscious Art of Graffiti Removal (a cheeky parody of Greenbergian art history), Portland’s Matt McCormick is branching out into formal video art installations. This series is about ghost properties—bleached houses and gutted hotels sitting in gorgeous Western landscapes that seem to stretch on into infinity. Who knew it would take a filmmaker to bring aesthetic concerns back to video art? (Seattle University Lee Center for the Arts, 901 12th Ave, 296–2244. Opening 5–8 pm, free.)

sunday night is something at the baltic called oi vay! it’s a monthly and it’s free and we don’t have to work the next day and we could invite the boys

ellen allien and sascha funke at chop suey 5/1

i am considering taking a few days off and locking myself in my room and not coming out until i have a business plan

i can leave food outside your door, but you’ll have to empty your own chamber pot.

sounds like a plan.

a good wednesday night out option:

http://bp1.blogger.com/_834L0hL0hPk/R6oEi7ee8PI/AAAAAAAAAbM/Em0Doho_tWc/s400/studio-web-350.jpg

I wanted to make the early announcement that starting Wednesday, March 5th, I along with many other local and national deejays/promoters will be hosting a new disco night weekly at Havana called ‘Studio’. This night, which is a spin off of the party that we threw back in December at the Nectar. Now moved to Havana (1010 E Pike Street, Capitol Hill) as a weekly event happening every Wednesday, everyone in Seattle finally has an ‘all disco night’ where they can hear all the selections I post on this blog as well as many other classic and rare disco, italo, and cosmic funk tracks. There will be rotating cast of deejays that include myself (TJ Gorton), HMA, DJ Colin, J-Justice, and many many more. The first night will also include free LP giveaways courtesy from Seattle’s Light in the Attic Records. Mark your calendars for March 5th and every Wednesday after that as the night that we celebrate, dance, and turn Havana into an underground 1970’s discotheque, a la Paradise Garage, The Gallery, The Loft, Cosmic, Baia Degli Angeli, Studio 54, etc.
